Volume 1 Don't Use the Hidden Dragon Chapter 174 Imperial City
Huayan City is famous for flowers, and there are many autumn chrysanthemums planted in the courtyard of Chufu, and in the autumn season, the courtyard is full of fragrance.
After the twin sisters became the servants of the Scholar's Academy, Ximen Shuren hired three servants to guard and clean the Chu Mansion.
The twin sisters returned this time without hiring many people, and allowed the three servants to return to their hometowns to visit their relatives.
It is precisely because there are only servants in the Chu Mansion that Gu Xuan will return to his true face, otherwise he may be exposed.
In a secret room in Chu Mansion, the five masters and servants sat cross-legged on the futon.
Gu Xuan first explained the geographical distribution of the Linglong Realm before instructing the servants to go to the Western Wilderness Realm to cultivate.
Seeing that the servants were listening attentively, Gu Xuan finally concluded: "You can go to Xinguo, cultivate to the later stage, and then cross the Minghai Sea with the caravan, go to the Western Wilderness Realm, separate in twos, enter the Demon Gate to cultivate, and meet again in fifty years." ”
Gu Xuan had mentioned fifty years just now, and this was the only thing that surprised the servants, after all, fifty years later, they were all close to old age.
Seeing Gu Xuan pause, the four servants said in unison: "Young Master's teachings, we will keep them in mind." ”
"Go to the Western Wilderness with the caravan, you need two thousand spirit stones per person, I will transfer you ten thousand spirit stones, each of you will step back, take the empty storage bag and collect it. ”
As soon as the words fell, Gu Xuan threw out a storage bag, and with a rush of telekinesis, the spirit stone fell to the ground with a clatter.
The four servants didn't dare to slack off, and they all took out their storage bags, penetrated into the true qi, and absorbed the spirit stones on the ground.
They all knew that the spirit stones were precious, but they had never seen them before, let alone ten thousand spirit stones, so that the hands holding the storage bags trembled slightly.
Ten thousand spirit stones, full of ten storage bags, the four servants held it in their hands, and they only felt heavy.
Gu Xuan continued to send out Chu Yu's storage bag and four lower-grade spirit dao artifacts, and gave a brief explanation.
After the servant put away the storage bag, Gu Xuan said solemnly: "From now on, you will be incognito, and you must not reveal your relationship with me." In addition, I have advanced to the Gangli Realm, and it is inappropriate for you to be commensurate with the young master again. ”
The servants glanced at each other, as if they were not surprised by this, and then Chu Lian said: "Please give the master a name." ”
Wang Mang said: "It's very good to call them that, they are your demon servants." The twin sisters' original name was Chu Bei Chu Huan, so they took this as their name, and it was logical for the twin brothers to change their names to Clutch. ”
Gu Xuan's eyes lit up slightly, and he pointed to Chu Ke, Chu Lian, Xun Dong and Xun Xi in turn, and said with a smile: "Xiao Bei, Xiao Huan, Xiao Li, Xiao He." ”
The four demon servants glanced at each other and said solemnly: "Thank you for the name of the master, we will practice diligently in the future, and live up to the master's cultivation and expectations! We swear by the demons in our hearts that we will always be loyal to the master, and we will never swerve until death, and the sun and the moon will be a mirror!"
The heart demon oath is also effective against demon cultivation, and after the demon servants have made their heart demon oath, they all got up and knelt down, and kowtowed three times to Gu Xuan.
Gu Xuan hurriedly stretched out his hand to help him, and said movingly: "You have this heart, which makes me feel very gratified, and I quickly got up." ”
The four servants got up one after another and sat down on the futon again, but tears were rolling in their eyes.
Seeing this, Gu Xuan couldn't help but feel agitated: "Our master and servant five will definitely be able to break through the world in the future!"
Wang Mang hurriedly drank lightly: "It's not appropriate to reveal your identity at this time, hold back!"
Seeing the demon servant nodding heavily, Gu Xuan turned to chuckle: "Okay, you all go to cook, show your best skills, and finally have a full meal, I will leave, and we will meet again in fifty years." ”
......
Xiazhou is the seat of the Daxi Dynasty, and the imperial city was established by the Daxi Dynasty, which is a pure cultivation city.
A brown wooden boat flew in the air, and Gu Xuan saw from a distance that a majestic earthy yellow castle stood on the ground.
When the Lingzhou flew closer, Gu Xuan discovered that the entire imperial city was actually made of stone, while the other markets in the Xi Kingdom were all wooden buildings.
Gu Xuan's spirit was radiant, his mind moved, and the transparent prohibition was removed, and he exclaimed: "There are no wonders in the cultivation world, such a majestic city, I have only seen it in my life." ”
Wang Mang smiled: "This city can only be regarded as distinctive, and it has not reached the point of breathtaking. ”
The cold wind was whistling in his ears, and Gu Xuan said secretly: "Is there an imperial court in the city?"
Wang Mang said: "The imperial court is located on the top of the mountain and is the cadre of the Daxi Dynasty. The imperial court was located in Bafang City, Liaozhou, which was the Kunbu of the Daxi Dynasty and was guarded by royal monks. The Imperial City is under the jurisdiction of the Shang Jia Division of the Imperial Palace of the Cadres. ”
"Imperial Palace?"
In Ximenshu's memory, he only knew about the cadres and the chief assistants and many divisions.
"The cadres have jurisdiction over the Imperial Dao Hall and the Imperial Dynasty Palace, and each hall has various divisions. Wang Mang paused slightly, "The old man doesn't know much about the structure of the Daxi Dynasty, so he can't talk about it in detail. ”
Gu Xuan didn't ask: "Let's fly around the imperial city." ”
Brown wooden boats flew over the right side of the Imperial City, and you could see that it was surrounded by mountains, and the castle was built in the basin.
Wang Mang was not interested and did not comment on anything, but in Gu Xuan's eyes, the imperial city was undoubtedly a behemoth.
The city wall is as high as ten zhang, all are stacked by Huanggang stones, the stone walls are connected into a piece, inscribed with strange French characters, form a group of cases.
It is forbidden to fly in the city, open eight stone gates, welcome visitors from all directions, and there are Gangli realm monks guarding the door, and you have to pay spirit stones when you enter the city.
In front of the east gate of the imperial city, there is a Yellowstone Square, where many Zenith Realm warriors set up stalls, leaving a passage in the middle.
There are people coming and going on the passage, at least all of them have True Power Realm cultivation.
Gu Xuan fell towards the square, put away the brown wooden boat, and walked up to the middle passage with the flow of people, strolling as he went.
The stalls all have the late cultivation of the True Power Realm, and most of them are Jianghu warriors.
Although Gu Xuan didn't look down on the things he was peddling, he also bought a map of the animal skins of the imperial city.
The stall owner was a young woman in gray, Gu Xuan did not put on a high posture, and communicated with her for a moment before moving on.
At the end of the passage is the east gate, and there is a small window on the right side, Gu Xuan came to the window, ready to pay the spirit stone.
To enter the city, you need a low-grade spirit stone, and this rule alone is enough to discourage ninety percent of the warriors of the rivers and lakes.
The blue-clothed man guarding the door, who cultivated in the early stage of the Gangli Realm, looked at Gu Xuan carefully, and was happy to see him face to face, and enthusiastically introduced: "This Taoist friend, as long as you pay one hundred spirit stones, you can directly enter the city in the future, and you don't need to pay the entrance fee again." ”
"This move is much more convenient, but you can go out for a trip next time, and pay another hundred spirit stones next time. ”
After Gu Xuan finished with a smile, he took out a lower-grade spirit stone and pushed it into the window.
The blue-clothed man was not dissatisfied, and immediately put away the spirit stone and pushed out a wooden talisman: "This is the imperial city talisman, please keep it away." ”
"Thank you. ”
Gu Xuan took the wooden talisman and took a closer look, the leaf-shaped wooden talisman was quite beautiful, with the words "Imperial City" carved on the front and "This pass" carved on the back.
Gu Xuan and a strange old man entered the city side by side, and inside the stone gate was the square, connecting the two main roads.
Cabriolet caries are parked in the square, with beautiful seats that can seat up to four people.
The people who pull the cart are all divine horses, and the owner sits on the back of the divine horse, holding his head high, all of which are the late cultivation of the True Power Realm.
Gu Xuan glanced around, full of curiosity, whether it was a tall castle or a strange horse, it was the first time he had seen it.
While feeling the novelty, Gu Xuan also had some admiration, the huge city actually had no noise, it was full of elegance and leisure, compared with other markets, there was a difference between cloud and mud.
Gu Xuan beckoned, summoned a colt nearby, Shi Shiran sat down, and advanced from the right road.
The owner of the car is an old man in gray, who has been driving in the city for 20 years, and is quite talkative, pointing to the shops on both sides of the road and introducing them one by one.
Gu Xuan's appreciation all the way, coupled with the introduction of the owner, can be described as an eye-opener.
The shops in the city are much richer than those in the fang market, and in addition to selling spiritual resources, there are also liquor shops, inns, teahouses, auction halls, and brothels.
Walking around the city, Gu Xuan bought two sets of Xuan-colored Taoist robes, both of which were woven from silk, warm in winter and cool in summer.
......
The store opened by Leng Yue Zhenren in the Imperial City is called Yueyuan Pavilion.
This pavilion has eight floors, and one to three floors sell cultivation items.
The fifth to seventh floors are cultivation rooms, and the ground is inscribed with a spirit gathering array, which can be cultivated by oneself or rented out.
"Welcome. ”
As soon as Gu Xuan stepped on the steps, a guy standing guard greeted him warmly.
Standing next to the guy, Gu Xuan wanted to ask, but when his eyes swept away, he saw Chen Guang on the first floor, so he nodded to the guy and paced in.
There were quite a few customers on the first floor, and a few guys were busy entertaining, and Chen Guang stood alone behind the counter to make rounds.
Gu Xuan wore a dark Taoist robe, wore a mask, and said to Chen Guang: "Brother Chen, I am Ximen Shu." ”
Chen Guang was dressed in a brocade robe, his eyes swept slightly, he glanced at Gu Xuan carefully, and immediately smiled and walked quickly.
When he got closer, Chen Guang took the lead and said: "It turned out to be Brother Shu, and Senior Sister and Senior Sister have been waiting on the eighth floor for many days. ”
Seeing that the other party had not become restrained due to the improvement of his cultivation realm, Gu Xuan smiled with satisfaction: "I am a newcomer, and I am tired of Brother Chen leading the way. ”
Chen Guang laughed: "With a gesture, Brother Shu upstairs, please." ”
Gu Xuan followed Chen Guang upstairs, and through the introduction of the other party, he learned that the first floor sold warrior resources, and the second and third floors sold Gangli Realm resources.
The fourth floor is a private VIP room, where customers can discuss their needs if they have alternative needs.
In addition to Chen Guang and Tu Yao, the three registered disciples of Leng Yue Zhenren were all sitting in the pavilion, and their highest cultivation was in the late stage of the Gangli Realm, which was enough to deter Xiaoxiao.
The eighth floor was used for residence, and Chen Guang took Gu Xuan to a quiet room.
The interior layout is elegant, and the desktop is covered with a map of the South Seas, and Leng Yue Zhenren is pointing to the islands on the map and introducing them to Di Hong one by one.
It wasn't until Gu Xuan and Chen Guang walked into the room that Leng Yue Zhen stopped talking.
After a salute, Chen Guang said goodbye and left, and Gu Xuan took off the mask and restored his true appearance.
Leng Yue Zhenren chuckled: "This mask is quite mysterious, my divine sense can only see that you are wearing a mask, but I can't see through your face." ”
Gu Xuan said with a smile: "The elder's Thousand Illusion Mask can be called mysterious, it can actually conjure the appearance of others, and only then can the divine sense see through it." ”
"How?"
Di Hong stared at Gu Xuan, his wide eyes hidden a little melancholy.
Feeling the beauty's concern, Gu Xuan hurriedly clenched Di Hongyu's hand, leaned his head over, and said in a low voice: "It's done, I got my wish, and I haven't revealed my identity." ”
The vigorous masculine atmosphere made Di Hong's heart like a deer, and said with a smile: "Father's revenge is avenged, and the hearts of the people are happy, and they will have no worries in the future, and they will travel freely." ”
